What does this PR do?

adding to hack/e2e/up.sh to provision the cluster shapes the controller e2e needs.
KARTA_WEBHOOK_MODE selects which webhook and serving-cert arrangement Karta is installed with. The three are not variations on one install: the chart renders different objects for each, and the API behaves differently.

Mode Webhook Serving cert caBundle
auto (default, unchanged) on the operator self-signs and rotates it patched by the operator
cert-manager on issued by cert-manager injected by cainjector
disabled off none none

provisionMode: manual renders no Secret and no cert RBAC, and operator/cmd/main.go gates BootstrapCerts/ManageCerts on certMode == auto, so in that mode the operator never touches the cert. The chart also ships no Issuer or Certificate, so the cert-manager route is not installable from the chart alone. install_karta_certificate supplies that half and waits for the Secret before the helm install.

Two smaller changes come with it:

  • WORKLOADS=none installs the base alone. An empty list already meant "install everything", so base-only was not expressible, and a controller e2e run should not pay for ten upstream operators it never touches.
  • cert-manager is installed only when something needs it: the cert-manager route, or kserve, whose bundled manifest ships Certificate resources that cainjector owns. Leaving it out is the point rather than a saving, since a cluster without it is what proves the operator's own cert controller depends on nothing external. CERT_MANAGER forces the decision either way and fails fast when false contradicts the plan.

Verified by rendering the chart three ways:

Route Secret cert Role/RoleBinding webhook configs --webhook-cert-mode
auto 1 placeholder present 2 auto
cert-manager 0 absent 2 manual
disabled 0 absent 0 none

The middle row is the one that matters: in manual mode the operator has no permission to write the cert Secret while still mounting it, so that route's central claim is enforced by the chart rather than asserted by a test.

Related issue(s)

Part of #72. Does not close it: the controller e2e suite itself is the next slice.

Not verified

make lint-shell could not run locally - shellcheck is not installed on this machine. The script was checked with bash -n and exercised through --list across every route and guard, and the chart rendering with helm template, but no route has been provisioned against a real cluster yet.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable webhook modes: automatic, cert-manager, or disabled.
    • Added configurable cert-manager behavior and operator namespace settings.
    • Added support for base-only end-to-end clusters with WORKLOADS=none.
    • Added automated operator installation, rollout checks, and certificate verification.
    • Added multi-architecture image and environment test build support.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded end-to-end setup guidance covering workloads, webhooks, certificates, cluster reuse, and dependencies.

The controller e2e for #72 has to exercise the operator under each of its
webhook and serving-cert arrangements, and wants a cluster carrying nothing
but the base. up.sh could do neither.

KARTA_WEBHOOK_MODE selects the arrangement. auto keeps the chart default,
where the operator self-signs and rotates its own cert and patches the
caBundle onto its webhook configs. cert-manager switches the chart to
provisionMode=manual, where the operator never touches the cert or the
caBundle; the chart ships no Issuer or Certificate for that mode, so up.sh
supplies them and waits for the Secret before installing. disabled drops the
webhook entirely, which is the only arrangement where an invalid Karta CR is
admitted and reports Validated=False instead of being rejected at admission.

WORKLOADS=none installs the base alone, so a controller e2e run does not pay
for ten upstream operators it never touches.

cert-manager is now installed only when something needs it: the cert-manager
route, or kserve, whose bundled manifest ships Certificates that cainjector
owns. Leaving it out is the point rather than a saving, since a cluster
without it is what proves the operator's own cert controller depends on
nothing external. CERT_MANAGER forces the decision either way and fails fast
when false contradicts the plan.

Walkthrough

The e2e provisioning flow now supports WORKLOADS=none, configurable Karta webhook modes, conditional cert-manager installation, namespace overrides, and certificate handling for the cert-manager webhook route.

Changes

E2E provisioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and usage interface
Makefile, hack/e2e/global.env, hack/e2e/README.md, hack/e2e/up.sh
The e2e interface defines webhook modes, cert-manager policies, namespace defaults, workload filtering, base-only provisioning, and related usage documentation.
Plan and option resolution
hack/e2e/up.sh
The script validates workload combinations and resolves webhook and cert-manager decisions from the selected plan.
Certificate and Karta installation
hack/e2e/up.sh, hack/e2e/install-karta-operator.sh
The scripts create certificates when required, apply CRDs, configure the Karta chart, wait for rollout, and verify CA injection.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d0ea2

The cert-manager webhook installation route may report completion before its CA bundle is injected, which can cause immediate webhook TLS failures for workloads using the newly provisioned cluster. This should be resolved before merge.

can't we do it in the test that test the webhook ? instead of putting it under the up.sh

…eady

install_karta_certificate waited only for the Certificate. cainjector cannot
stamp the caBundle until the annotated webhook configs exist, and helm creates
those after that wait, so nothing gated on the injection: up.sh could report the
environment ready while the API server still had an empty caBundle, and the first
admission call would fail with an x509 error that looks nothing like the cause.

The auto route was never exposed to this. There the operator's own rotator writes
the caBundle before it reports ready, so rollout_wait is an implicit gate. Manual
mode removed that gate without replacing it.

wait_for_ca_injection polls both webhook configs after the install, on the
cert-manager route only. install_karta now returns 0 explicitly, since a trailing
[ test ] && cmd would return 1 on the other two routes and set -e would abort the
provision.

Also document that each route wants its own CLUSTER_NAME. up.sh reuses an existing
kind cluster, and the cert-manager route leaves cert-manager and the Certificate
behind; that Certificate keeps reconciling the same Secret the auto route's
operator writes, so the two contend and the no-cert-manager claim stops holding.
CI is unaffected, since a fresh runner has no cluster to reuse.

up.sh had grown from 253 to 415 lines, most of it the three webhook routes and
their cert handling, which left it doing the job it documents as the workload
operators' own: a standalone install script per component.

install-karta-operator.sh follows that same convention (MODULE_DIR, sources
_common.sh, main(), exit-code contract) and holds the webhook resource names,
the certificate issue, the CA-injection wait and the route selection. up.sh runs
it last, as a subprocess, and is back to orchestrating at 316 lines.

Karta is the system under test rather than cluster infrastructure, which is why
this sits beside operators/ instead of inside it: a directory there would imply
WORKLOADS=karta selects it.

The route is validated in both places on purpose. up.sh validates so --list
rejects a typo without provisioning, and the script validates again so it is
safe to run on its own against the current context, which is now the fast way to
reinstall Karta without rebuilding the cluster.

Also add the new script to E2E_SHELL so lint-shell covers it.

shellcheck SC2034: the poll loop's counter is never read, so name it _ rather
than i. Fixed instead of suppressed, per the no-disabling-lint-rules rule.

Caught by CI because make lint-shell had never run locally; shellcheck is not
installed on this machine, and the run that verifies this fix went through the
koalaman/shellcheck:stable image instead. All 24 scripts in E2E_SHELL pass.

Do not turn WORKLOADS=none into an empty Ginkgo filter.

An empty E2E_LABELS omits -ginkgo.label-filter. Ginkgo then runs every recorded flow. Therefore, make record-e2e WORKLOADS=none runs workload tests against a base-only cluster.

Reject WORKLOADS=none for record-e2e, or use an explicit no-match filter.

AGENTS.md asks for short sentences in markdown, and three passages had drifted
well past that: the cluster-reuse warning, the installer and certificate
lifecycle, and the fresh-cluster qualification on the no-cert-manager claim. The
worst ran to about fifty words stacking a colon and two "and" clauses.

Split by topic rather than only at sentence boundaries, so each paragraph makes
one point: what the script is, what the chart omits, why the certificate has to
precede the helm install, and what wait_for_ca_injection covers afterwards.
Every technical detail is kept, including the shared-Secret contention between
the two routes and the crashloop-rather-than-wait startup behaviour.
